A storm with statewide impacts largely spares Jacksonville, but damage spans the peninsula from St. Petersburg to Palm Coast, with serious effects in St. Johns County.
Our panel of journalists explores multiple angles on the week’s biggest headline: Hurricane Milton.
- Now that we know the damage done, what are we learning about the realities of “resilience”?
- Will back-to-back storms — and another possibly brewing — shift Florida’s west coast residents from wanting to return to wanting to retreat?
- What does the early science say about the role of climate change in Milton’s intensity?
- How does storm misinformation affect disaster recovery?
Plus, we get an update on a massive sewage main break on Anastasia Island.
